Watch as a duplex cottage on east Red Oak Drive traveled—intact— for relocation on the west side of Red Oak. Working together, crews from Wolfe House and Building Movers and Wohlson Construction jacked the cottage up, placed it on temporary support beams and pads to settle the unit onto 24 sets of independently operated, hydraulically powered wheels. Moving the cottage followed the laborious, week-long preparation. In less than three hours, the company teams positioned the duplex at its new location. In coming weeks, permanent supports will replace the temporary supports and a slab will be poured for each garage. Wohlson Construction handles this delicate part of the cottage relocation. Moving the cottage is among the first steps of preparing the campus for ground breaking for its new Healthcare Center.
Pleasant View's new Healthcare Center represents the final phase of implementing resident-centered care in designated neighborhoods for 16 to 18 residents. With its private bedrooms or private bedrooms with a shared bath, residents experience caring attention in the comfort of a homelike setting. Other senior friendly qualities include special lighting, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and low-set windows so residents may enjoy the beautiful campus and surrounding farmland. Here, residents may receive short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care with accommodations for residents with dementia-related conditions in a secure unit. The construction project is scheduled for completion in late 2012.
